Woman reports July assault

A 23-year-old woman visiting Athens with her boyfriend said she was sexually assaulted on July 14 while she was unconscious at a hotel bar, according to an Athens-Clarke police report.

The woman reported the assault Tuesday to police in her hometown, which was not disclosed in the report. However, police in that town called police in Athens to report that she was at a hotel on Finley Street celebrating her birthday.

The woman told police her boyfriend fell asleep in bed, so she went to the motel bar where she was given a beer and doesn’t remember anything after she drank it. She woke up the next morning in bed with her boyfriend, but her genitals were sore, according to the report.
